In addition to the "official" releases, there are a potentially unlimited number of Code 3 variations available - some made in small production runs, others made as one of a kind. I am particularly interested in the models with modern liveries, such as the ones produced and sold by CJT, which are unlikely to be seen on current Code 1 issues. It's also possible to see some casting types not issued, such as the RMF and early RMs (see Mike Pannell's models below). Enjoy some selected models below!

A further and much more difficult step with Code 3 models involves modifying the original casting. Some impressive examples are shown here of the first three Routemasters, which had very different front end designs from the one generally seen. These models were made by Mike Pannell and are available for sale from him.	RM1 Produced by Mike Pannell	RM2 (left) and RML3 (right) Produced by Mike Pannell	CRL4 Produced by Mike Pannell

The following two pictures show a code 3 recently seen on ebay, seller ID "dzsimimary" - instead of the usual pristine look, these models are mean to show what the real ones look like!			This uncredited model is a rendering a Green Line RCL.
